v.

NACOGDOCHES COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NOS. F11498 & F14062 IN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM NACOGDOCHES COUNTY

   Per curiam.

O R D E R  

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In it, he contends that he filed applications for a writs of habeas corpus in the Judicial District Court of Nacogdoches County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of   Nacogdoches County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the record on such habeas corpus applications; submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); by stating that the nature of the claims asserted in the applications filed by Relator is such that the claims are not cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed applications for habeas corpus in   Nacogdoches County. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
